Hi Greengrocer....

Heres my advice If you wanna just grow one plant to start off with.....

Buy a small HPS floodlight.... 70w (they put out around about 6000 Lumens) and cost around £35 GBP... (dunno about aussie dollars?)

You dont need to buy pots.... check my grow out.... I used empty 5L water bottles and doubled them up.... they done the job... but if you are not growing on that tight a budget.... I'd reccomend you buy a 10L pot....

(Best to start your seeds in some sowing & cutting compost 50-50 with perlite...then transfer into the 10L once a strong rooting structure has been established....)

Fans are definately necessary.... otherwise you'll have heat issues....

Soil is easier than hydro for a 1st timer

Box...dont use a cardboard box! you might burn the fucking house down! ....and your box in the picture is too small!


build yourself a 3mm-5mm ply wood box...... 1ft-1.5ft square and tall enough to accommodate your pot + light + maybe 2.5 ft....for the plant...

Buy feminised seeds....(the attitude are highly recomended) - Go Indica as they stay short and bushy....

Have fun! :jointsmile:
